A 44-year-old man was arrested Thursday for allegedly dealing 65 grams of heroin in an undercover operation conducted by Montgomery County Sheriff’s investigators.

Cesar Garcia, 44, is charged with first-degree felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, which carries a punishment range of five to 99 years in prison, if convicted.

Police conducted an undercover operation Thursday to make a heroin purchase in the 24900 block of Interstate 45 South.

Garcia is alleged to have made the delivery and was taken into custody without incident, said officials, adding that MCSO has seen an increase in arrests for heroin on the Interstate 45 corridor in South Montgomery County.

The MCSO Special Investigations Unit was assisted by the SWAT team and uniformed patrol deputies of the same department.
